Call To Country
Remember our freedoms, lest we forget
The price of liberty and of surrender.
Tyranny cannot trample the people
Lest our future succumb to infamy.
Carried: our flag over our enemies
Our land secure as soldiers we buried.
Pray our allegiances will never bend
As we stand firm for American ways.
Let founding principles be cemented
Cured and secure, and forever be set.
Brave as one loyal to God and country
Live committed and resolved to the grave.
Atoned by the soldiers who gave their all
Their names on white crosses and sacred stones.
Sound your commitment, all citizens pledge
To stand resolute and to country bound.
Dread is no option, allegiance required
Make bravery soar and division: dead.
One nation is ours to love and defend
One life is yours and your obligation.
